願上帝喜歡把我壓碎，但願他鬆手將我剪掉。

就是愿神把我压碎，伸手将我剪除。

愿上帝把我压碎，伸手将我剪除。

愿神把我压碎，伸手将我剪除。

愿祂压碎我，伸手毁灭我。

就是願神把我壓碎，伸手將我剪除。

願上帝把我壓碎，伸手將我剪除。

願神把我壓碎，伸手將我剪除。

即其樂意壓我、伸手絕我、

願上帝糜爛我體、立舉其手、喪亡我命、若斷機杼。

願天主擊碎我身、舉舉原文作釋手以絕我命、

that God would be willing to crush me, to let loose his hand and cut off my life!

I wish he would crush me! I wish he would just cut off my life!

that it would please God to crush me, that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!

I wish he would crush me. I wish he would reach out his hand and kill me.

that he would decide to crush me, to unleash his power and cut me off!

Oh, that God would decide to crush me, That He would let loose His hand and cut me off!

That it would please God to crush me, That He would loose His hand and cut me off!

Even that it would please God to crush me; That he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

that He would decide to crush me, to unleash His power and cut me off!

Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

And that God would be willing to crush me, that he would let loose his hand and kill me.

even that it would please God to crush me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

自己卻進曠野、走了一天的路程，來到一棵羅騰樹下，就坐在那裏為自己求死，說：『罷了！永恆主啊，現在取我的性命吧！因為我並不比我列祖強。』

以致我寧肯噎死，寧肯死亡，勝似留我這一身骨頭。我厭棄性命；我不願永遠活着；不要管我；因為我的日子都是虛幻。

現在呢、永恆主啊，把我的性命取去吧！因為我死了比活着還好。』

當那些日子、人必求死，決尋不着死；人必切願要死，死卻逃避他們。

『為甚麼有光賜給受苦難的人？而有生命給心裏愁苦的人呢？為甚麼給切望着「死」而不得死的人？給挖地尋「死」、勝於尋求藏寶的人呢？給尋見墳墓就歡喜、而快樂高興的人呢？

我的朋友啊，恩待我吧，恩待我！因為上帝的手擊打我了。

日出時，上帝又安排了炎熱的東風，日頭曬了約拿的頭，以致他暈過去，他就為自己求死，說：『我死了比活着還好。』

『巴不得你將我珍藏於陰間吧！將我隱藏，等你怒氣轉消吧！願你為我定了期限，並懷念着我。

因為你的手晝夜重重壓着我；我的精液起了惡變化、如在夏天的炎熱中。（細拉）

看哪，我熬煉你，卻不像熬煉銀子；你在苦難鑪中我試驗你。為了我自己的緣故、我自己的緣故、我一定要行；因為我哪能使我的名被褻瀆呢？我的榮耀、我也不給別的呀。『雅各啊，聽我吧！我呼召的以色列啊，聽哦！是我；我是起始的；我也是末終的。我的手奠定了大地，我的右手展鋪着諸天；我一呼喚它們，天地就一概站出來。

我，管這眾民的責任太重了，我獨自擔當不起。你既這樣待我，我若在你面前蒙恩，求你乾脆將我殺掉，免得我見自己的苦處。』
